SUNDAY 4/9-
It's like, say, the second day of Spring Break. I'm watching Spider-Man in Canada. I didn't really do anything today. Just went out to eat a few times and went grocery shopping. My mom told me to get whatever I thought we needed, so we ended up with lots of candy, some maple leaf shaped syrup flavored cookies (which are ridiculously good, by the way), and Dr Pepper. There's a remote controlled fireplace in our room, and really uncomfortable matresses. Aw, look, Peter and MJ are kissing... how cuuute. Anyway, we're in Blackcomb. It's the same place we were two years ago, and I still remember where things are. It's kinda crazy. Oh yeah, so I forgot my camera, yet I remembered to pack its charger. How much does that suck? Sucks tons. That's how much.

MONDAY 4/10-
Today was my first day on the mountain. After I got back in my groove it was pretty great. I mean, I came back feeling positively thrashed, but that's what I get for being anti-physical acitivity. My calves and quads are now twice their normal size, I swear. And I bailed pretty hard this one time, somehow I landed in like a mid-somersault postition. It was extreme. Then tonight we went to the Mongolie Grill to eat. You go through this buffet-type thing, but it's all meat and noodles and other stir-fry things, and then they grill it up for you and it's delish. My brother and I each had two pounds of food..each (hello redundancy). And he ate every last bite of his. Friggin sick. While we were waiting for a table I went into this place called the Hat Gallery and I found a Lincolnesque tophat. You can bet I tried it on. And as we were walking home, I passed this guy playing his guitar on a bench. I threw all the money I had in my pock into his case, and right as I did so I heard him sing "Come on baby lemme show ya my warhead." I don't know about that really. Don't know about that at all.

TUESDAY 4/11-
I FEEL SO OLD! "What do you suggest for the worst possible pain ever?" It hurts to do pretty much anything, but I say it's worth it 'cause I ripped so haaaard today. I rode with a group of eight I believe. Most were from England. And so, all day, we would switch in and out of accents to the point where I can't remember who was even English and who was Canadian/American. There was this girl named Mairead (one of the world's top names I think) who I talked to about music a lot. I guess she really likes Death Cab which is sweet, because I'm going to see them on the 21st. And, on the subject of music, I have heard so much Cure since I've been in Canada. And I'm not complaining. But I am complaining about the number of times I've heard Maroon 5's "She Will Be Loved" in the past few days. I don't know what Canada's deal is.

WEDNESDAY 4/12-
Last night I slept on the couch because I couldn't take my rock-hard mattress anymore. And I woke up, I don't know what time, because of a horrible dream I had. It kept popping back into my head today too, and the thing is, it's not a scary dream by any means but it was still one of the worst dreams I've ever had. Sad, mostly. But oooh well.. Today- I'd be lying if I told you I did anything less than my best shred. I went with the same group again, and we spent a lot of the day either cruising through trees (fresh powder city/ "sideslipping through fresh powder is like killing kittens. You just killed THREE KITTENS!!!") or messing around in the terrain park. I mastered the box, not that I can do anything that sweet aside from fitties and ollies. I also hit quit a few jumps. It was supasweet I'd say and I'm not feeling so sore any more. The weather was so crazy today though. First it was cold, then snowing so hard it hurt, then sunny and slushy, then rainy, and back to snowy. But it was oh so rippable. Which reminds me, one of the absolute best things about boarding is that everyone says rip/bail/grind/shred all the time.

THURSDAY 4/13-
I woke up today, the last possible day to shred, and I felt terrible. And I stayed here. All I did all day was move back and forth from my bed to the couch, and try to sleep. It didn't work really. So basically I missed out on a day of ripping with my brother just to sit and do nothing, and almost puke a hundred times. Laaame. But then at dinner the waiter walked up to the table right after I put asparagus up my nose, so it was a glorious end to the day.

FRIDAY 4/14-
It snowed all day for the first time all week. It's so pretty outside, but it's funny to think that it's the middle of April and back home people are probably having picnics in shorts, or something. Listen, I even wore snowboots today. In April! How crazy! Speaking of boots, we're leaving tomorrow morning, driving two hours, flying for four hours, driving for a hour or two, and then I'll be home. And I'm not so sad about it, because I miss my bed, my friends, and my lazy, lazy life.
